Mental Health Download: Exploring Mental Illness, Suicide, Homelessness and Incarceration

Today, we have Mental Health Association Oklahoma’s Children's Behavioral Health Program Manager, Cynthia Mooney talking with Kerrie Fisher, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University.

Kerri has 16 years of practice and teaching experience, and she is passionate about providing training and resources at the intersections of micro and macro practice for mental and behavioral health professionals.

Prior to her time in higher education, she was a licensed clinical social worker in school settings where she provided individual, group and family counseling, as well as case management and consultation for student care teams.

Kerri is a regularly invited speaker in cultural humility, anti-oppressive practices and combating supremacy in all its forms. Additionally, she is a keynote speaker at the 2024 Zarrow Mental Health Symposium, themed Life Stages: Mental Health Across a Lifetime.

We are grateful to have Kerri on today, and we’re excited to share this insightful and engaging conversation between him and our own Cynthia Mooney. Thank you for listening to the Mental Health Download.
